What should I do if a lump appears after weaning?

Weaning is a very painful process for women. Not only do they have to coax the crying baby, but they also have to endure the pain of breast engorgement. Because milk cannot be discharged in time during weaning, it will cause milk to accumulate in the breasts and form lumps. If the lumps are not removed in time, they will cause many breast disease problems in women, so once the lumps are found, they must be dealt with in time. Specific introduction on what to do if lumps appear after weaning?

1. Breast pump: The pain and swelling during weaning is related to the accumulation of milk. In severe cases, mothers may also suffer from breast disease. Therefore, during the period of milk swelling, you can try using a breast pump to suck out the accumulated milk, which can help relieve the pain. Breast pumps can be purchased in general supermarkets or maternal and child supply stores, but please note that you must clean and disinfect the breast pump before using it to prevent breast infection.

2. Hot compress: Hot compress can relieve the pain of breast engorgement caused by weaning. After using a breast pump to wash out the milk, the mother can apply a hot towel to the breast. The hot compress can make the milk lumps blocking the mammary glands unobstructed and improve breast circulation. When applying hot compress, be careful to avoid the areola and nipple areas because the skin in these two areas is more tender. The temperature of the hot compress should not be too hot to avoid scalding the skin. Generally, there is no limit to how many times you can do it per day, as long as you keep the breasts soft.
